HIKING TRAIL // We invite you to use our marked, private 1.5 mile hiking trail, but ask that you stay on the trail so as not to wander onto neighboring properties. Please respect the nature you encounter and leave the area in the same condition in which you found it. The hiking trail is a difficult, up-mountain trail over rough and steep terrain, which is a combination of old farm trails and deer trails.

The neighbor provides the amount of wood in the photograph for $20. Contact information is provided upon booking.

You will be able to self check-in upon arrival. This is a rural cabin in the mountain forest. The closest convenience store is about a 15 minute drive, and the nearest supermarkets/restaurants are in Boone, Banner Elk and on Beech Mountain. Our neighbors up the mountain raise chickens and goats. You may hear chicken and rooster noises, especially in the morning. Although bears are not regular visitors, you may see a bear. Please be sure not to leave any food outside and to place all trash in the receptable in the bear bin. We recommend that you download directions before leaving on your trip, as not all cell carriers provide a signal in our area. It is best to arrive before dark, the area is very dark at night. If you are traveling in the winter months, we strongly recommend that you come in a 4WD or AWD vehicle. In snow or ice conditions, the mountain roads are quite difficult to navigate without 4WD or AWD. The gravel driveway from the street is shared with 2 neighbors up the mountain and we only have access to the part near our home. Please do not block the ascending part of the driveway. Also, other than using the ascending part of the driveway to access the hiking trail on foot, and when the hiking trail crosses the gravel drive higher up the mountain, guests are not permitted to use the gravel driveway ascending or descending the mountain. Because of the remoteness of the area, the home uses a septic tank. Other than toilet paper, please do not flush anything down the toilets unless you have eaten it. In the summer months, the temperature is generally very comfortable in our area. For the infrequent hot days, we have window fans which keep the home cool, but we do not have air conditioning; if air conditioning in the mountains in a necessity for you, please find another place to stay. If a guest has no reviews, we require AirBnB verifications of photograph, phone, e-mail, government I.D. and you must be at least 25 years of age. We have a neighbor to the left, and there are 2 homes above us on the mountain which access their properties via the gravel road. Do not block the gravel road.
